Abstract

Transportation vehicles are more and more communicating with their system environment. In the Road Transport Domain the Vehicle2Vehicle communication standard is developed and components are commercially available. Those technologies are suitable to be used for road-rail interactive uses cases (e.g. level crossings) as well as for pure railway use cases (e.g. information at platforms). To show this potential a demonstration has been done at a level crossing in the area of the dock railway in Braunschweig, Germany. This contribution presents the approach, the demonstration and some results.
